The security creds are big but... last time Kerry played to political. He did not take on the swift boaters OR the media that gave the swift boaters free air time.

Clark is NOT like that. Gdub still had high numbers at election time (close to 50%). Times are different and the fear will not work as well but they will still use it because "security" is and will be a major issue with the voters.

If we get "hit" again the repugs will play it up even tho it would be their fault or their plan.
